All Blacks vs Tonga

[kiwiinmelb]

Good to see a ref make a good decision

[Stargazer]

The right decision and good to offer a clear explanation to the captains.

[Higgins]

@Nepia Accidental or not it is still dangerous play.

That's not a YC ffs

I think it probably is from the end on shot - but for the game he should have sent two ABs off as well.

Terrible call -- he was pulling out and put a hand out to soften the impact. Just in no way a yellow.

Referees are going to cost some teams at this cup, and it's going to suck.

He hit him with the shoulder even while pulling out. I don't disagree that refs will cost teams but by the letter of the law it's yellow.

Probably - I'd argue little force and pulling out - but to me shows how refs don't seem to have 'feel' for the game any more. I don't think that's the sort of tackle that was intended to be carded, no matter how the laws are written.

I think Gardner does and this decision just now shows that.

Disagree - if not a card it's a clear penalty.

I think Gardiner might be the current ref with the best feel for the game.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins It was dangerous, but I doubt it qualifies as 'play' if you trip over another player.

You've changed your tune - in the Tongan one the Tongan player lead with a shoulder, all his fault, in this one JB tripped over another player.

[Donsteppa]

I think it’ll be good for Josh Ioane to serve his apprenticeship for just a little bit longer. His time in the black jersey will certainly come though.

[Stargazer]

Damn, donut gone.

I disagree with Marshall. For me, that's still a penalty and possibly yellow card - the precedent was that bloke who slipped while taking off a year or two back and still copped it. I think the Tongans were right.

Not a red, but I don't think it was a scrum either for that matter

He’s nowhere near ready for a RWC knock out game

I haven't changed my tune at all and all you've done is offer a biased description of both incidents.

If you read what I actually wrote I said both are penalties.

Being a doofus ?

[No Quarter]

Well we held our shape for longer than expected given how poor the Tongans have been. Seemed to take out foot off the peddle with the Lousi YC, and then obviously giving Crotty his marching orders.

Not really sure what we can take out of this game other than a bit of a hit out between Bled 2 and the SA game.

Taking a player out in the air. The fact I need to point that out suggests you should be telling me less about the laws and what the outcome should've been.

@antipodean said in All Blacks vs Tonga:

Taking a player out in the air.

from the IRB

https://laws.worldrugby.org/?domain=9&guideline=8&language=EN

looks to be a penalty - but I think they got the YC/RC call right (assuming it's not strict liability)

Challenging players in the air - Law 10.4(i)
Play on – Fair challenge with both players in a realistic position to catch the ball. Even if the player(s) land(s) dangerously, play on

Penalty only – Fair challenge with wrong timing - No pulling down
Yellow card – Not a fair challenge, there is no contest and the player is pulled down landing on his back or side
Red card – It’s not a fair challenge with no contest, whilst being a reckless or deliberate foul play action and the player lands in a dangerous position

That one was either scrum Tonga or red card Jordie Barrett. Laws of the rugby don't give you any grey area. As soon as Jordie commits a foul, it all comes down to how the player lands.

[Stargazer]

@nzzp Gardner explicitly said that Jordie was in a realistic position to catch the ball (timing was right) when he tripped over Reece. Gardner made the right call. Play on.
